Matt_1 Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Quote The Football Club Crest Index is a new independent publication project that's set out to document the rich history & storytelling behind the elements in the biggest clubs in world football. To represent each club, we've hand picked 47 designers who support each club to produce original & exclusive artwork to sit alongside their clubs history, giving each spread a unique execution.Volume 1, launching in 2017 will feature the 47 clubs to have graced the Premier League since it's inception in 1992. The aim then being to move throughout Europe & World Football Leagues in future editions. For more information on the project, how to get involved & when we're going to print, get in touch with us on Twitter @TheFCIndex & for developments on the book check our Instagram @TheFCIndex. So. I am the designer who is going to be doing the page for us. I think this is bigger than me though so I would like your opinions and thoughts on what we think would represent us the best. Which era? Which team? Which player? Which manager? Should we go for a shot of us lifting the League Cup? Should we go for a shot of a match day experience? The different approaches to the ground? The view after you walk under the 5 Arches? The different pubs you might go to along the way? Our biggest results? Boxing Day? Rumbleows? Hartlepool? That season in League 1, mind the gap? With a well written story to accompany? Every great club is needs a big rivalry. What would you like to see as a 1 page visual representation of Sheffield Wednesday. We have 1 A3 spread. I design the left had side. This is the right hand side: http://imgur.com/dDz6L1b Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OxonOwl Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Is it supposed to cover the Premier League era or the whole club's history. We've got 150 years! More than one page worth! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inspector Lestrade Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 You should go for last season which gave everyone a big lift and the promise of more to come. I give you The Future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tamworthowl Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 The problem with this sort of exercise is that it tends to focus on recent times at the expense of the more distant history, which for us is when we were more successful. I would start with various iconic views of the ground. Inside and out, old and more recent. Mix that with images of special days, e.g. Pele with full kop in background, Wycombe celebrations.

bigrbuk Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 Two recent images spring to mind... but the play off semi against Brighton, full house, all lit up by the phones - that was incredible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HirstWhoScoredIt Posted January 17, 2017 Share Posted January 17, 2017 You need to show the good times and the bad. Very roughly - events that NEED covering. The early League titles and FA Cup triumphs The 1935 FA Cup win The betting scandal - like it or not it is part of our history. The 1966 FA Cup Runners Up Boxing Day 79 Hillsborough Disaster - I am afraid it needs to be covered and with taste and respect. League Cup winners 91 The four Wembley trips of '93 Relegation from PL. Play off win '05 Mind The Gap Play off defeat last season. Record scorers Record appearances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
